sincerely, jane
Singer:monae, janelle
my momma she said don't come back home
these kids round' killin each other
making babies and can barely read
some gone off to their fall
your cousins is round' here sellin' dope
your uncle is walking round' strung out
and their tears keep burning
while their dreams go down the drain now
are we really living or just walking dead now?
or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
day dreamers please wake up
the winds have changed; it seems they have abandoned us
what good is love if it burns bright
are we really living or just walking dead now?
or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
day dreamers please wake up
i've seen them shootin' up funerals in they sunday clothes
spending money on spinners but won't pay college loans
and all you gangers and bangers rollin' dice and taking lives
teacher please reach those girls in them videos
the little girls just broken queen
there's danger when you take off your clothes
all your dreams go down the drain girl
are we really living or just walking dead now?
or dreaming of a hope riding the wings of angels
day dreamers please wake up
and we never know the right
and we never touch the sky
for you to come home my dear
you've been gone long enough
